What do you think the name of the next expac could be?

I'm guessing a Garlemald theme for this expac so my guess would be Ivory (something) (Ivory War or Rise of Ivory? Idk I like the sound of that ig)

Stormbringer...need to continue the pattern

FFXIV: Hunter's Moon... I really have no good guesses though.

FFXIV: Paleblood Sky? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

FFXIV: Lunar Cry

FFXIV: Genesis Expression

Uhh.. uhhh...

FFXIV: Lunatic Gospel ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Empire Strike Back.
Introducing new melee DPS job sharing gears with NiN using Light Saber as weapon.

FF14 : Odiosis stercore
FF14 : Nos autem iterum eruditionis habes
FF14 : Civitas magna in via


Edit
maaan the joke doesnt work cause the opposite way it translates differently thanks google :C

next expansion: bangaa, wyrmtamer, chemist, gun summoner

DeepthroatBringers

Final Fantasy Type-14 Chain of Advanced Mystic Revenant Ultimate Wings
Chronicles of Exvius Light 358/2 Days by Sleep Remix

If it's another S B title I'm going to riot - though at this point I wouldn't put it past the English localization team to do it just for the opportunity to troll.

FFXIV: Badlands

FFXIV: Wild Lands

FFXIV: Umbral Eclipse

FFXIV: Beastheart

FFXIV: Sharlayan Boogaloo

I say it's only fair we call the next one Battle for Eorzea AND make it not suck for good measure.

NoContent - Final Fantasy XIV Online.

I'm guessing an Allagan/Dragon/Meracydia focused expansion myself, considering Yoshi P suggested we brush up on our HW lore for the next expansion.

As for the name... I just hope it isn't abbreviated to SB.

Apparently SE filed a new trademark for

'Crossblade'

this year in the same month they applied for the 'Shadowbringers' trademark back in the day - May.
Make of that what you will.

EDIT: Just to make sure, a TM in the same timeframe does not point to it absolutely being the next expansions's name. For all we know it could be the name of the other game that Yoshi's division (Creative Unit 3) is developing.

Sounds like Zenos might be the main villain as expected.

Where do you view trademarks again? Trying to find this

Final Fantasy XIV: Terminus?

[Keening noises from below]

FFXIV: Return (seriously?!) to Stormblood

Final Fantasy XIV: The Quest For More Money.

This is a good question! The pattern behind the expansion names seems to be color based. Heavensward was 'Blue Skies of Ishgard' in Japanese, Stormblood was 'Crimson Liberators,' and Shadowbringers was 'Pitch-Black Villains." So, with blue, red and black, it'd make sense for white to be the color of 5.0, as OP suggested, especially if we're going to Garlemald with its Ivory Standard. I also imagine that wrapping up the Ascian/Zodiark story would figure into the title somehow.

Oh, but it also has to have the initials S.B. for optimal confounding between previous expansions?

How about "Starblight"? It brings to mind the distant, dim white of 'starlight' while also conjuring images of the ever-looming threats of the already-crumbling Empire under Zenos, and the Ascians finally summoning their god and unmaking the world as we know it. And it does the S.B. thing.

Hmm..

Do you have a source for that? All that I remember is that we'd have quite a bit of a mess to come back to. Something we'll probably see in 5.4 the aftermath of.

- The Return of Light

- Rise of the Booty Warriors

-The Emancipation of Veruca Salt.

the next expansion will be split into two
final fantasy 14: red edition
final fantasy 14: blue edition

ARR aside, the titling convention seems to be a one word quasi-portmanteau of two thematic words. So my guesses are.

1. Mythmaker(s): Tying into this being the end of the Zodiarc and possibly Garlemald conflict, and thus the formative legend of the Warrior of Light of the Seventh Dawn
2. Steeldusk: A more pointed reference to Garlemald's role and their technological leap to everyone outside the Ironworks.The Dusk part alludes to that they oppose the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.
3. Godhunters: Referring to Zenos' desire to "hunt" for a worthy opponent and his design son Zodiark. And for a double meaning, your Primal slaying tendencies.
   • Primalhunters: Derived from the above but with the added meaning relating to knowing of a specific ancient (as in "primal") era.
4. Dawnbreaker: Like Mythmaker this alludes to this being the end of the WoL's formative legend, but unlike Mythmaker, it instead frames it as the end of of the current forces of Darkness (in this case Zodiark and Garlemald) and thus the break of Dawn. Also adds a parallel to ARR's themes of rebirth and light returning.

All of these also don't have any words used in previous titles for a bonus.

Regarding the Color theme of the Japanese titles. I think the following would be appropriate.

1. End of the Gray Hunters: Referring to Zenos, and again the steel motif. Steeldusk would be the likely localisation
2. Yellow Sun(rise): Referencing Azem, as the Sun is both yellow and rises (and it also brings to mind Japan's etymology). Dawnbreaker would be the likely localization.
3. God-Shattering Yellow Stars: Why yes we could do with Three Houses references :P. Again using yellow, this one would refer to Zodiark's end and Azem's symbolism. Godhunters/Primalhunters would be the likely localized title.
4. The Tales of the new Green World: playing off the XIII saga's intended name, as well as the fact that this is again, the end of the current conflict. Mythmaker is the likely localization.

I really like that name and hope that is indeed the name. Most importantly, it doesn't start with S.

Well, just checked the US Trademarks system, TESS, and I do see that word registered by two companies, neither are Square Enix, and both are almost a decade old, with one of them being no longer valid. I Check what Square Has Registered recently, and frankly, I saw nothing to suggest a future Expansion. Unless ...

COLLECTIVE https://i.imgur.com/ZgTEJz5.jpg

... is the next expansion, but something tells me it's unrelated.

note doing further investigation, that is in their own words...

Wait, is it Voice of Cards? An AST featured expansion? :eek:

How are those the most recent trademarks?
Some are decades old.

Maybe renewals?

Maybe something to do with shards due to the shattering glass motif of this year's Rising Event. Shattered Star would be cool.

Yes, I’m actually on the lookout of this myself. The expansion name is usually trademarked a year before the release around the time of The Rising event. Though like that other question, where does one actually check these trademarks?

As for my own guess of what the name would be, I think of something with finality, since the next expansion is supposed to end the Ascian arc... so I’m thinking GODSLAYERS.... I think it’s far fetched and not sure what an equivalent Japanese translation related to the ivory and white color would be but I can only take a stab like everybody else. Lol.

Thanks. I’ll check the link.

It'll probably be that Crossblade one. When they trademark a name over the summer it has always turned out to be exactly that. One blade representing the Alliance, one blade representing the Garlean empire. Very easy to discern. The question is if one blade is Zenos or if it is someone else who's going to be the villain of it.
